221275 Mzwcn0wsxbhlo08lj THE OFFWORLD MAN WEB COMIC AND GRAPHIC NOVEL SCRIPT ACT ONE This first and second acts are exposition heavy. Also, lyrics from the song 'A Thousand Years' by Sting are used in the novella, and really should be used in the web comic / GN script as well to frame the tone of this near-future science fiction story. The lyrics are very important to me. The song inspired me to write the novella. In his undying love for a woman named Eve Dumont, whom our protagonist, Dr. Gordon Marcus Aurelius Parks, lost when he was a younger man, he makes an unconscious decision, and follows through on it many years later. Eve's loss affected Gordon greatly, compelling him to become the anti-hero of this story. For many years he mourned her brief life, and a love he failed to fight for. He becomes a man driven and eventually powerful enough to amass and marshal the unlimited resources to do the impossible-- bring Eve back to life, while fighting the military industrial complex from within, as a only a billionaire military aerospace industrialist insider can do. It’s not a hard-and-fast rule, but where possible it would be outstanding if you could try to favor full- width cinematic panels, both vertical and horizontal; this will make it easier to slice it up into a web- friendly format. Any “Location Title”, lyrics or prose , or computer voice over audio files or other scene establishing text should be free-floating on the image, with no caption box, to differentiate it from Dr. Parks' “internal monologue” captions. The font should suggest a computer readout, e.g. Bank Gothic or OCR A Extended.

PROLOGUE News from the World Future Society, May 2009 BATTLES FOR OUTER SPACE The U.S. military has named the space environment a "special area of emphasis" due to growing international space-based operations. Attacks on space assets such as satellites are a key concern, but other threats besides weapons attacks exist, such as collisions with space debris and electronic jamming. "America's way of life is dependent on space," notes Colonel Sean D. McClung, director of Air University's National Space Studies Center. "We have to think about what we would do if our systems in space were attacked—how we determine attribution for the attack, and respond in appropriate manner." By declaring the space environment a special area of emphasis, the Defense Department will devote more resources and attention to space in the curricula of professional military colleges.

Air Force Space Command: "The establishment of Space Command is a crucial milestone in the evolution of military space operations. Space is a place like land, sea and air. A theater of operations, and it was just a matter of time until space was treated as such." --General James V. Hartinger. Air Force Space Command bases and stations include: Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, Schriever and Peterson Air Force Bases and Buckley Air National Guard Base, Colorado; Onizuka Air Station and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; Cape Canaveral Air Station and Patrick Air Force Base, Florida; Cavalier Air Station, North Dakota; F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; Clear Air Station, Arkansas; Thule Air Base, Greenland; and Woomera Air Station, Australia. Air Force Space Command units are located around the world, including Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany. Spacelift operations at the East and West Coast launch bases provide services, facilities and range safety control for the conduct of D.o.D, National and Space Administration and commercial launches. Through the command and control of all D.o.D satellites, satellite operators provide force-multiplying effects -- continuous global coverage, low vulnerability and autonomous operations. Satellites provide essential in-theater secure communications, weather and navigational data for ground, air and fleet operations and threat warning. Ground-based radar and Defense Support Program satellites monitor ballistic missile launches around the world to guard against a surprise attack on North America. Space surveillance radars provide vital information on the location of satellites and space debris for the nation and the world. With a readiness rate above 99 percent, America's ICBM team plays a critical role in maintaining world peace and ensuring the nation's safety and security. Air Force Space Command operates and supports the Global Positioning System, Defense Satellite Communications Systems Phase 2 and 3, Defense Support Program, NATO 3 and 4 communications and Fleet Satellite Communications System UHF follow-on and MILSTAR ; and currently operates the Atlas 2, Delta 2, Titan 2 and Titan 4 launch vehicles. This includes all of the nation's primary boosters from the Eastern and Western ranges and range support for the space shuttle. Air Force Space Command also operates the nation's primary source of continuous, real-time solar flare warnings. The command also operates a worldwide network of satellite tracking stations to provide communications links to satellites -- a system called the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Ground-based radars used primarily for ballistic missile warning include the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, PAVE, PAWS and PARCS radars. The Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance System, Passive Space Surveillance System, phased-array and mechanical radars provide primary space surveillance coverage. As of June 1999, approximately 37,200 people, including 25,800 active-duty military and civilians and 11,360 contractor employees, combine to perform Air Force Space Command missions. Air Force Space Command brings space to the warfighter by continuously improving the command's ability to provide and support combat forces -- assuring their access to space.In addition, the command's ICBM forces deter any adversary contemplating the use of weapons of mass destruction. Air Force Space Command has six primary mission areas: • Space forces support involves launching satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles. It also operates those satellites once in the medium of space. • Space control ensures friendly use of space through the conduct of counterspace operations encompassing surveillance, negation and protection. • Force enhancement provides weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning and navigation. • Force application involves maintaining and operating a rapid response land-based ICBM force as part of the nation's strategic nuclear triad. • Computer Network Defense • Computer Network Attack GlobalSecurity.org PAGE THREE PANEL 1) The Earth in view from 20,000 kilometers out in space.

Naval Space Command: Beginning in the mid-1980s, concurrent with the development of space operations and space engineering curricula at the Naval Postgraduate School, the Navy began “coding” officers as space subspecialists. As space subspecialty codes were then assigned to particular officers’ billets on numbered Fleet staffs and at commands ashore, the service began assigning Navy members with matching codes to those positions. More recently, the Navy has begun efforts to build a cadre of “space smart” officers, enlisted personnel and civilian employees. The Naval Space Cadre is composed of active-duty and reserve Navy and Marine Corps officers and enlisted personnel, along with Navy civilian employees from a wide range of career fields who meet mandatory education, training and experience standards established for a particular certification level. The Navy Space Cadre is a distinct body of expertise horizontally and vertically integrated within Navy and Marine Corps active duty, reserves and civilian employee communities organized to operationalize space. Initial identification of the cadre began in mid-2001 with the standup of the Naval Space Cadre Working Group and culminated in a naval message (NAV ADMIN 201/03 DTG 211435Z JUL 03) announcing the first 700 officer members of the cadre. These officers were identified by the sub-specialty codes of 6206, Space Systems Operations, and 5500, Space Systems Engineering or by the additional qualification designator of VS1, VS2, VS3 or VS4. Identification of enlisted and civilian cadre members is more challenging, as these groups do not have specific space identifiers like the officers do. Approximately 265 billets are currently identified as space billets. These jobs are in Navy, Joint and National Security Space organizations. Space cadre members are currently assigned throughout the National Security Space arena, including the National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Space Architect, National Security Space Integration, MILSATCOM Joint Program Office, as well as in all Navy organizations that deal with space.

United States Space Command (U.S.SPACECOM): U.S. Space Command was created in 1985, but America’s military actually began operating in space much earlier. With the Soviet Union’s unexpected 1957 launch of the world’s first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1, President Eisenhower accelerated the nation’s slowly emerging civil and military space efforts. The vital advantage that space could give either country during those dark days of the Cold War was evident in his somber words.

    Topicality master file Implementation matters as much as policy development. Foust, aerospace analyst, journalist and publisher, 10 (November 29, Jeff, “NASA’s extended limbo”, “The Space Review”, http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1731/1) It’s all about implementation The debate about NASA’s budget and how the agency plans to carry out programs like HLV development is a reminder that policy alone, as defined in the authorization bill, is necessary but not sufficient for the agency to implement a new direction. That policy needs to be acted upon, and with sufficient funding, neither of which are guaranteed. “Policy follows money, but sometimes authorization bills matter, and certainty the recent NASA authorization bill matters quite a lot,” said Jim Muncy, president of PoliSpace, during a panel session about space policy at the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight in Las Cruces, New Mexico, last month. He added, though, that the key to the policy—including the broader national space policy issued by the administration in June—is how it’s carried out. “The policy’s great, but the question is, will they implement it correctly?” ***Front MATTER Resolved = Express by Formal Vote Resolved means to express by formal vote—this is the only definition that’s in the context of the resolution Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1998 (dictionary.com) Resolved: 5.

(2011) suggests ‘Social media tools cultivate the internal discussions that improve quality, lower costs, and enable the creation of customer and partner communities that offer new opportunities for coordination, marketing, advertising, and customer support. The paper contends innovation should be added to this and suggested by Beckinsale (2017). It is the importance of the networks, their connections, their value, their availability and the awareness of them that can play a significant role in innovation amongst small firms and technological entrepreneurial firms. Hansen et al (2011: 4) contends that it is the information contained in networks that has significant business value by exposing participants in the business network who play critical and unique roles’ In the innovation literature internal and external networks have been viewed as critical to the innovation process (Boddy, 2014).

Currently this activity is still in a development session which is better for the future. Thus, the description of space tourism activities is a matter that deserves to be known from history to all of its details and seen from the growth and difficulty in increasing space tourism activities, of course it must be supported by laws or regulations governing space. Not only that, so far there have been space tourists as well as potential space tourists who have departed for this tourism activity. Thus, this space tourism activity is intended to be an activity that can be tried on a regular basis in the future, so that international and national legal arrangements must be well organized, fair and responsible and with regard to the rapid growth of this activity, it’s appropriate for those who participating or having an interest in this activity must be more open in the growth of the activities they are carrying out, so that steps can be taken quickly, it seems like for example, to quickly formulate and ratify a space agreement related to space tourism, protection of parties who participate in activities it's kind of like the private industry.

  • Globalization of Space – the Astrosociological Approach
    AIAA SPACE 2007 Conference & Exposition AIAA 2007-6076 18 - 20 September 2007, Long Beach, California The Globalization of Space – The Astrosociological Approach Marilyn Dudley-Flores* and Thomas Gangale† OPS-Alaska, 2262 Magnolia Avenue, Petaluma, California 94952 USA [Abstract] The primary author coined the phrase “globalization of space” in the 1990s in lectures and presentations, thus the term was conceived in the sociological record. And, though texts and journal articles on sociology are full of studies of the phenomenon of globalization, sociologists are not serious about the study of those aerospatial events that made possible the extent of modern globalization. And, although it is in their purview, they do not keep track of advancements in the aerospace industry that can provide clues to where globalization is taking human societies. On the other hand, the “globalization of space” is referenced by a host of organizations connected to the aerospace community (i.e., NASA, the Air Force Academy, et al.). However, to the reverse of the sociological community, aerospace organizations have little concept of social factors at varying levels of analysis that can provide clues to where human societies are heading in space – a destination that will impact aerospace industries. The authors advocate for taking the astrosociological approach, a merging of social science and aerospace perspectives in order to examine the coming benefits and challenges to the globalization of space. Several topics, near-term to long-term, discussed in this report

Giancarlo Genta Politecnico di Torino Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Aerospaziale Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia, Milano, 8 Maggio 2014 Space exploration The model for space exploration that prevailed since the end of the 1950s, was based on a direct involvement of governments, through the military and then through space agencies. • General climate of cold war • The non-existence of a private sector in one of the two main actors • The novelty of this enterprise, that lead to costs beyond the possibilities of private organizations. 2 Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia, Milano, 8 Maggio 2014 International treaties Treaties were heavily influenced by the premises that • The actors in space were the states and • Exploration could be peaceful only if states refrain from • claiming ownership of ‘things’ that exist beyond the Earth as their own and • taking any sort of weapons in space Everything of value was to be considered as belonging to humankind in general 3 Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia, Milano, 8 Maggio 2014 Space industry The space activity allowed the development of a space industry. The governmental agencies were customers of these companies, and managed the missions directly. A new model started emerging: space agencies were not to deal with all kinds of space activities, leaving all the industrial ones to private companies, concentrating on their main business, namely science and exploration. 4 Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia, Milano, 8 Maggio 2014 The semi-private way Later, the idea that also in science and exploration missions the space agencies should buy many services from private companies emerged.

  • The Evaluation of Zero‑Gravity Tourism Sector in Terms of Economic Dynamics and Cost Data
    Proceedings of Sydney International Business Research Conference, Adina Hotel, Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia, 19-21 March, 2016; ISBN 978-0-9942714-8-8 The Evaluation of Zero‑gravity Tourism Sector in Terms of Economic Dynamics and Cost Data Semih Buyukipekci, Birgul GOK Selcuk University, Turkey ABSTRACT The phenomenon of space tourism, which is no longer a dream since 2001 thanks to Dennis Tito, is now a gospel truth in the shadow of the discussions in the literature with its economic reality. There are many activities, such as high‑altitude flights, journey to moon, orbital and sub‑orbital travels, Zero‑G experiences, and flight trainings within the scope of space tourism. The economic value of the sector for 2014 is 330 billion dollars with the other integrated sectors. The cost of spending a night in space ranges between 2.2 million dollars and 2.91 million dollars, while going to moon costs 150 million dollars per person. Keywords: Space Tourism, Cost, Economy, Orbital, Suborbital 1. INTRODUCTION Discovering the unknown has been the passion of human beings as of the beginning of their existence. From the first ages, the interest in the events than couldn’t be identified has resulted in many contributions to humanity, and has been the foundation of the illumination of many unknown. Despite many discoveries for years, space is one of the primary of the fields that can still remain a mystery. Researches conducted in order to obtain information about space contributed to the development of other sciences, and the curiosity of human beings increased even more when the obtained knowledge created the hope to find spark of life in other planets.

  • Space Tourism Market Growing at 16.3% CAGR by 2025
    Oct 10, 2018 01:04 EDT Space Tourism Market Growing at 16.3% CAGR by 2025 2025 Space Tourism market report discusses the key drivers influencing market growth, opportunities, the challenges and the risks faced by key players and the market as a whole. It also analyzes key emerging trends and their impact on present and future development. Download PDF Brochure of Space Tourism Market spread across 97 Pages, Profiling 9 Companies and Supported with tables and figures are now available at https://www.reportsnreports.com/contacts/requestsample.aspx?name=17162 25 Space tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. To date only orbital space tourism has taken place provided by the Russian Space Agency, although work continues developing sub-orbital space tourism vehicles by Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. In addition, SpaceX announced in 2017 that they are planning on sending two space tourists on a lunar free return trajectory in 2018 aboard their Dragon V2 spacecraft launched by the Falcon Heavy rocket. One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the space tourism market in the coming years is the decrease in the cost of space tourism. The cost of getting into space will decline rapidly if the next generation of space planes can reach the orbit. This will considerably reduce the cost of launching satellites or space exploration missions, making it an economically feasible option for a larger customer segment. Additionally, the reduced cost can also enable vendors to launch multiple nanosatellites in the solar system.
